China’s Peace Ark Visits Grenada in December

One of the world’s largest all inclusive/fully equipped hospital ship, China’s Ark Peace, will visit Grenada next month.

The People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) Ark Peace will arrive in Grenada, at the Melville Street Cruise Terminal on 5 December, and Grenadians are encouraged to make full use of the medical services to be provided on board the hospital ship.

Grenadian and Chinese officials have been meeting to plan and finalize the schedule of the ship’s one-week visit, during which a wide range of basic and advanced medical services and procedures will be offered to citizens, free of charge.

Grenadian and Chinese Officials

Last week, the ship’s top commanders visited Grenada, where they met with officials from the Ministries of Health and Foreign Affairs, as well as the Police and Ports Authority.

The PLAN Ark Peace is the first purpose-built hospital ship, with 300 sickbeds, and a staff of 398 medical and support personnel. They include neurologists, surgeons, radiologists, dermatologists, biomedical engineers, and psychologists.
